The gene smu.1475c encodes a putative protein of 211 residues in Streptococcus mutans, a primary pathogen for human dental caries. In this work, smu.1475c was cloned into pET28a and expressed in good amount from the E. coli strain BL21 (DE3). Smu.1475c protein was purified to homogeneity in a two-step procedure of Ni2+ chelating and size exclusion chromatography. Crystals were obtained by hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method and diffracted to 2.7 angstroms resolution. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimension of a = 68.3 angstroms, b = 105.9 angstroms, c = 136.2 angstroms. The asymmetric unit is expected to contain four molecules with solvent content of 49.4%. 相似文献

The protein Smu.1393c from Streptococcus mutans is annotated as a putative α/β hydrolase, but it has low sequence identity to the structure‐known α/β hydrolases. Here we present the crystal structure of Smu.1393c at 2.0 Å resolution. Smu.1393c has a fully open alkaline substrate pocket, whose conformation is unique among other similar hydrolase structures. Three residues, Ser101, His251, and Glu125, were identified as the active center of Smu.1393c. By screening a series of artificial hydrolase substrates, we demonstrated Smu.1393c had low carboxylesterase activity towards short‐chain carboxyl esters, which provided a clue for exploring the in vivo function of Smu.1393c.

The histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein (HPr) from Bacillus subtilis has been crystallized. Two of the site-directed mutants aimed at probing function produce crystals suitable for X-ray studies. The mutant in which His15 is substituted by an alanyl residue crystallizes from ammonium sulfate solution in space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit cell dimensions: a = b = 47.3 A; c = 61.5 A. These crystals diffract to at least 1.8 A resolution. The mutant in which Ser46 is substituted by an aspartyl residue crystallizes from polyethylene glycol 4000 solution in space group P2(1), with unit cell dimensions: a = 49.4 A; b = 25.6 A; c = 60.3 A; beta = 109 degrees. These crystals diffract to at least 2.0 A resolution. 相似文献

Hexameric glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase from Escherichia coli has been crystallized isomorphously with both phosphate and ammonium sulphate as precipitants, over a wide pH range (6.0 to 9.0). The crystals belong to space group R32 and the cell parameters in the hexagonal setting are a = b = 125.9 A and c = 223.2 A. A complete native data set was collected to 2.1 A resolution. Self-rotation function studies suggest that the hexamers sit on the 3-fold axis and have point group symmetry 32, with a non-crystallographic dyad relating two monomers linked by an interchain disulfide bridge. A possible packing for the unit cell is proposed. 相似文献

Temperature-sensitive CHO-K1 mutant cell line tsTM18 exhibits chromosomal instability and cell cycle arrest at S and G2 phases with decreased DNA synthesis at the nonpermissive temperature, 39 degrees C. To identify the causative mutation, we fused tsTM18 cells with normal human cells to generate hybrids carrying fragments of human chromosomes. Analysis of chromosome content of temperature-resistant transformants and introduction of a bacterial artificial chromosome containing part of human chromosome 9 led to isolation of the human SMU1 gene. Comparison of sequences of the Smu1 gene from wild-type and mutant cells revealed that the mutant phenotype is caused by a G-to-A transition that yields a gly-to-arg substitution at position 489 in hamster Smu1. The substituted glycine is located in the WD-repeat domain of Smu1. Single-stranded DNA accumulated in the nuclei of mutant cells at 39 degrees C. Furthermore, cdc2 kinase was not activated during G2 phase, and there was no chromosome segregation due to incomplete assembly of the spindle during M phase. Thus, Smu1 appears to be involved directly or indirectly in DNA replication, activation of cdc2 kinase, spindle assembly, and maintenance of chromosome integrity, reflecting the important roles of Smu1 in cellular function. 相似文献

The molecular mechanism of immunoglobulin switch recombination is poorly understood. Switch recombination occurs between pairs of switch regions located upstream of the constant heavy chain genes. Previously we showed that switch recombination breakpoints cluster to a defined subregion in the Sgamma3, Sgamma1 and Sgamma2b tandem repeats. We have developed a strategy for direct amplification of Smu/Sgamma3 composite fragments as well as Smu and Sgamma3 regions by PCR. This assay has been used to analyze the organization of Smu, Sgamma3 and a series of Smu/Sgamma3 recombination breakpoints from hybridomas and normal mitogen-activated splenic B cells. DNA sequence analysis of the switch fragments showed direct joining of Smu and Sgamma3 without deletions or duplications. Mutations were found in two switch junctions on both sides of the crossover point, suggesting that template switching is the most likely model for the mechanism of switch recombination. Statistical analysis of the positions of the recombination breakpoints in the Sgamma3 tandem repeat indicates the presence of two sub-clusters, suggesting non-random usage of DNA substrate in the recombination reaction. 相似文献

Human plasminogen kringle 4. Crystallization and preliminary diffraction data of two different crystal forms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Human plasminogen kringle 4 has been crystallized in two different crystal forms: monoclinic, a = 32.78(3), b = 49.17(2), c = 46.27(3) A, beta = 100.67 degrees, space group P2(1), four molecules/unit cell, two molecules/asymmetric unit; orthorhombic, a = 32.09(7), b = 49.14(6), c = 49.47(9) A, space group P2(1)2(1)2, four molecules/unit cell. Both crystal forms have a large protein fraction (66% for monoclinic and 62% for orthorhombic) and diffract x-rays to 2.0 A resolution. A self-rotation function has been calculated with monoclinic data indicating a non-crystallographic 2-fold rotation approximately parallel to a* (peak height of 14.3 x sigma). Cross-rotation function calculations are in progress utilizing the coordinates of the conserved structure of kringle 1 of prothrombin and plasminogen kringle 4. 相似文献

A tetra-heme and an octa-heme cytochrome c3 from the sulfate bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas have been crystallized. Diffraction quality crystals of the tetra-heme cytochrome are obtained from solution by the addition of polyethylene glycol at pH 6.5. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2 with unit cell parameters a = 42.27 A, b = 52.54 A and c = 52.83 A. The octa-heme cytochrome crystals develop from low ionic strength solutions of phosphate or Tris-Cl in the pH range 6.2-7.6. The crystals belong to the trigonal system, space group P3(1) or the enantiomorph P3(2), with unit cell parameters a = b = 57.4 A, c = 97.3 A, gamma = 120 degrees. Single crystal diffraction studies of the structures of these two low-potential cytochromes are in progress. 相似文献

Bluetongue virus serotype 10 (BTV-10) VP7, expressed by insect cells infected with the recombinant baculovirus, has been purified and crystallized. Two crystal forms suitable for X-ray analysis have been obtained. Type I crystals belong to space group P6(3)22 with a = b = 95.2 A, c = 181.0 A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees gamma = 120.0 degrees, and contain a single subunit in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. They diffract to dmin = 3.0 A. Type II crystals belong to space group P2(1) with a = 69.4 A, b = 97.1 A, c = 71.4 A, beta = 109.0 degrees, and contain a trimer in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. They diffract to dmin = 2.1 A. These results, together with solution studies, show that the molecule is a trimer. 相似文献

Histone macroH2A has a novel hybrid structure consisting of a large nonhistone region and a region that closely resembles a full-length histone H2A. One key to understanding macroH2A function is determining the structure and function of its nonhistone region. The nonhistone region of one of the two known macroH2A subtypes was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using affinity and molecular sieve chromatography. Crystals of the protein suitable for structural studies were grown from polyethylene glycol solutions by vapor equilibration techniques. The crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P64 (or its enantiomorph P62) with unit cell parameters: a = b = 106.2 Å, c = 125.9 Å, α = β = 90°, and γ = 120°. There are four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Self-rotation function studies revealed three twofold noncrystallographic rotation axes related approximately by 222 symmetry. These crystals have 47% solvent content and diffract to 3.8 Å resolution. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Single crystals of bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Single crystals of T7 RNA polymerase have been grown to a maximum size of 1.8 x 0.3 x 0.3 mm. The crystals are composed of fully intact T7 RNA polymerase which is enzymatically active upon dissolution. These crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1) and have unit cell parameters a = 114.5 A, b = 139.6 A, c = 125.7 A, and beta = 98.1 degrees. Self-rotation function studies indicate that there are three molecules per asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 3.0 A resolution. These are the first crystals of a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase suitable for high-resolution X-ray structure determination. 相似文献

The complexes between the Fab fragments of two monoclonal anti-lysozyme antibodies, Fab10.6.6 (high affinity) and D44.2 (lower affinity), and their specific antigen, hen egg-white lysozyme, have been crystallized. The antibodies recognize an antigenic determinant including Arg68, but differ significantly in their association constants for the antigen. Two crystalline forms were obtained for the complex with FabF10.6.6, the higher affinity antibody. One of them is monoclinic, space group P21, with unit cell dimensions a = 145.6 A, b = 78.1 A, c = 63.1 A, beta = 89.05 degrees, consistent with the presence of two molecules of the complex in the asymmetric unit. These crystals diffract X-rays beyond 3 A making this form suitable for high-resolution X-ray diffraction studies. The second form crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, with unit cell dimensions a = 134.0 A, b = 144.7 A, c = 98.6 A, alpha = 90.30 degrees, beta = 97.1 degrees, gamma = 90.20 degrees, consistent with the presence of 10 to 12 molecules of the complex in the unit cell. These crystals do not diffract X-rays beyond 5 A resolution. The antigen-antibody complex between FabD44.2, the lower affinity antibody, and hen egg-white lysozyme crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell dimensions a = 99.7 A, b = 167.3 A, c = 84.7 A, consistent with the presence of two molecules of the complex in the asymmetric unit. These crystals diffract X-rays beyond 2.5 A resolution. 相似文献

The mechanism by which the cytidine deaminase activation-induced deaminase (AID) acts at immunoglobulin heavy-chain class switch regions during mammalian class switch recombination (CSR) remains unclear. R-loops have been proposed as a basis for this targeting. Here, we show that the difference between various forms of the Smu locus that can or cannot undergo CSR correlates well with the locations and detectability of R-loops. The Smu R-loops can initiate hundreds of base pairs upstream of the core repeat switch regions, and the area where the R-loops initiate corresponds to the zone where the AID mutation frequency begins to rise, despite a constant density of WRC sites in this region. The frequency of R-loops is 1 in 25 alleles, regardless of the presence of the core Smu repeats, again consistent with the initiation of most R-loops upstream of the core repeats. These findings explain the surprisingly high levels of residual CSR in B cells from mice lacking the core Smu repeats but the marked reduction in CSR in mice with deletions of the region upstream of the core Smu repeats. These studies also provide the first analysis of how R-loop formation in the eukaryotic chromosome depends on the DNA sequence. 相似文献

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction data of two crystal forms of bovine heart creatine kinase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two crystal forms of bovine heart creatine kinase, which are suitable for X-ray diffraction studies, have been grown at room temperature using 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol as the precipitant at pH 7.2. The space group of the orthorhombic form is P2(1)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions a = 133 A, b = 128 A and c = 65 A, and there is one dimeric molecule in the asymmetric unit. The space group of the tetragonal form is P4(2)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions a = b = 132 A and c = 75 A, with one subunit in the asymmetric unit. The tetragonal crystals diffract to at least 2.0 A resolution. 相似文献

Recombinant human CuZn superoxide dismutase as expressed in yeast has been crystallized in three different crystal forms. Hexagonal plates grow from 2.4 M ammonium sulfate, pH 7.5, and belong to the space group P6(3)22, with cell dimensions a = b = 113.5(3), c = 151.5(5) A, and Vm = 2.21 A3/dalton for two dimers per asymmetric unit. At 2.0 M ammonium sulfate, pH 7.5, chunky wedges grow in space group C222(1), a = 205.2(6), b = 166.5(4), c = 145.4(4) A with a Vm of 2.43 A3/dalton for eight dimers per asymmetric unit. With polyethylene glycol 8000, pH 7.5-8.0, hexagonal prisms are obtained with cell dimensions a = b = 197.4(6), c = 43.1(2) A, space group P6, and Vm = 2.53 A3/dalton for three dimers per asymmetric unit. All of these forms diffract to high resolution, are stable to x-rays, and appear suitable for determination of the atomic structure. Crystals of the doubly mutated enzyme (Cys6----Ala, Cys111----Ser) grown from both micro- and macroseeds of the wild type protein demonstrate the feasibility of isomorphous crystallization of site-directed mutants of the cloned parent enzyme for comparative structure-function studies. 相似文献
